TAKII is a two day event so I was wondering what specific day (and time) these particular events are happening. Or are you doing them all on both days?

Well, really, the only thing I definitely do not want to miss is Rumble Roses XX VS Dead Or Alive 4. You got an estimation of when you're aiming to do that? I'll also get in on Virtua Cop 2 if I'm there when you do it.

If you got a Dreamcast at the event, I highly recommend you get some Project Justice going on. (at least for free play) I can bring a copy to use (hell, a copy to GIVE you) if you're ok with using burned games. (no modding needed. Just put the disc in as is)

And I gotta say that I'm very surprised you're not doing anything with Super Street Fighter 4. It's brand spanking new and everyone and their mother is playing it right now. The SF4 team tourney that one time (I think it was TAKII7) was pretty fun, except for the random wireless controller lag. (just use the USB cables next time.)

Also, I do agree....Project Justice needs to be played & be played it shall!! We have the original Japanese version ready to go for free play all weekend & we hope everyone enjoys it!!

....& funny you should mention Super Street Fighter 4, as it is going to play a central role with another amazing Capcom game in our latest press release, being issued tomorrow night -- so stay tuned for that, as well!

Keep the feedback comin'....& we look forward to seein' ya at TAKII 9 this weekend!!!!
